Together with two Australian partner universities, the University of Melbourne and Monash University, the University of Bayreuth is establishing a new International Research Training Group (IRTG) in the field of semiconductor research. The graduate school will start in spring 2023 and will be funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) for an initial period of five years with more than six million euros. Outstanding young talents from the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering can apply for admission to the International Research Training Group and associated positions as research assistants with the aim of obtaining a doctorate.
18 PhD Scholarships in optoelectronic semiconductors
Semiconductor materials are the cornerstone of modern electronic and photonic technology, and central to sustainable economic growth. So far, the functions of semiconductors are mainly defined by chemical and physical properties of their components, and organic and inorganic semiconductors are treated as separate research areas. We want to overcome the divide in material systems and tailor unprecedented optoelectronic properties by the
International German-Australian Research Training Group:
Optical excitations in organic and inorganic semiconductors (OPTEXC) -
Understanding and control through external stimuli
The University of Bayreuth (Germany), the University of Melbourne (Australia) and Monash University (Australia) together have constituted an interdisciplinary International Research Training Group in the areas of experimental and theoretical physics, synthetic, physical and computational chemistry, electrical engineering, material sciences and related areas.
We are looking for highly talented, compassionate graduate students with excellent track records interested in pushing forward our understanding of nature and its application in technology. The project builds on our established, supportive scientific network and includes research stays at a German and an Australian partner, leading to Joint PhDs with degrees from two universities. You can find below a description of the topic areas and the PhD projects on offer.
